Serialize / DeSerialize XElement objecs using BinaryFormatter.

Posted By: Posted Date: August 30, 2010 Points: 0 Category :.NET Framework

Hi, I'm having some business objects which contains XElement properties. I have some offline framework which serialize / deserialize using binary formatter. I'm getting the error "Type 'System.Xml.Linq.XElement' in Assembly 'System.Xml.Linq, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' is not marked as serializable." when i try to serialize the xelement object I'm getting the XElement serializer error. We are bit too far with design and need to find some work around to solve this issue. The following program should give you the same error behavior. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Xml.Linq; using System.IO; using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary; namespace XElementBinaryformatter { public partial class Form1 : Form { private BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter(); public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void btnSerialize_Clic

Can serialize but not deserialize class containing an xs:list attribute using XmlSerializer

I have a simple serializable class along the lines of: [Serializable] [XmlType] public class MyClass { [XmlAttribute("values")] public int[] Values { get; set; } } If I create an instance of this class with Values set to an empty collection the XmlSerializer class produces this output as expected: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?> <MyClass xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" values="" /> However, deserializing this exact output throws a System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. Shouldn't the XmlSerializer be able to deserialize this, since it produced the xml string in the first place?

System.Xml.Linq.XElement and XPathDocument

I have an XPathDocument that I want to save to a table using LINQ, but I get this error

cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument' to 'System.Xml.Linq.XElement'

I create the XPathDocument from some (valid) xml contained in a resource file

XPathDocument xDoc = new XPathDocument(new StringReader(Resource1.TestXML));

when I try to assign it with LINQ, it flags up an error

NewDataItem.XML = xDoc ---- error here

NewDataitem is a LINQ to SQL object created from the underlying table, 'NewDataItem.XML' is a column type of 'XML'

how do i (easily) convert xDoc so I can pass it into the LINQ object ?

JSON Deserialize into Entity Framework Object and setting the DataMemberAttribute "Name="

Hi,

I'm in the process of deserializing a JSON object into an Entity Framework object. The property names in the JSON do not match up totally with the property names in the Entity Framework Objects. What I'd like to do is set "Name=" on the "DataContractAttribute" for the table and the "DataMemberAttribute" for the properties in the Designer.cs file. I tried setting these in the Designer.cs file manually just to see if it would work - which it did (using JSON.Net) but of course when I went into the .edmx designer I lost all my changes. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance

How to: Serialize Hashtable contained inside another object that is serialized as an array of object

Update: I've added the entire program in a single block of C# text near the end of these posts that can be placed into a C# Program.cs file of a console project. I have a class called MyHashtable that inherits from Hashtable and implements IXmlSerializable. MyHashtable is contained inside another object called MyObject and I need to xml serialize an array of MyObject[]. Whenever I xml deserialize, the hashtable is deserialized, but only 1 of MyObjects from the MyObject[] array is deserialized. The ReadXml uses "while (reader.NodeType != XmlNodeType.EndElement)" so I don't think the reader is consuming all of the xml internally. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

WSE 3.0 Can't Serialize String Types as Escaped CDATA

I know I should be using WCF. HOWEVER, I'm utilizing services provided by Omniture that simply only work well with WSE 3.0 as Omniture's WSDL definitions and service endpoints have compatibility issues that are beyond my control. While I was able to solve a lot of my compatibility problems with Omniture but there is one issue that is still causing me a lot of heartburn. When passing strings values through WSE3.0 the Microsoft.Web.Services3.WebServicesClientProtocol class encodes the values as denoted below for the "script" argument. <soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> <tns:ProductSubmitProductScript> <productCode xsi:type="xsd:string">123456789</productCode> <script xsi:type="xsd:string"><genesis></genesis></script> </tns:ProductSubmitProductScript> Unfortunately, this encoding isn't going is promptly rejected by Omniture because the xml values are not subsequently decoded on their side. When passing string values to Omniture they MUST be enclosed in the escape sequenice <![CDATA[ ]]>. Thus, the prior request should be

The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message

Hi I got this error when programming in C# 2008 The formatter threw an exception when trying to deserialize the message: Error while trying to deserialize parameter http://tempuri.org/:GetListSitesResponse. The InnerException message was' Error on line 1, position 314. The item 'http://tempuri.org/:anyType' contains data data contract 'http://tempuri.org/:Site'. The deserializer has no knowledge of any type that is assigned to this contract. Add the type corresponding to 'Site' to the list of known types (eg, using the attribute KnownTypeAttribute or adding it to the list of known types passed to DataContractSerializer). '. See InnerException for more information.

Small issue extracting soap from xml using Xelement

The following code works fine, except it only gives me the value being returned (integer), with no XML tags at all. I want the raw XML without the soap (not just the value). display code: Dim path1 As String path1 = "c:\temp\testing.xml" ExtractSoap() File.WriteAllText(path1, ExtractSoap.Value.ToString()) function: Public Function ExtractSoap() As XElement internalStream.Position = 0 Dim xmlMessage As XElement = XElement.Load(XmlReader.Create(internalStream)) Dim soap As XNamespace = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" Dim body As XElement = xmlMessage.Element(soap + "Body") If body IsNot Nothing Then Return DirectCast(body.FirstNode, XElement) End

binary serialize weird error

i got this class, when i wanna serialize it, i keep getting error System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException was unhandled by user code Message=Type 'System.Linq.Enumerable+WhereSelectListIterator`2[[Data.Models],[System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, ...' in Assembly 'System.Core, Version=4.0.0.0, ... is not marked as serializable.

If you remark this out, and just use an empty method, it worked fine. what can cause the serialization to fail?

Can you Serialize a Derived class, cast as it's base?

Can you Serialize a Derived class, cast as it's base? (Using the stock XmlSerializer.Serialize?) (The overall goal I'm trying to achieve, is I have 1 object, and I need to serialize it in 2 different ways, 1 with full info, one with half info, and I *thought* a base class would be the way to do it) e.g. I have a base and derived class [XmlRoot("MyBaseXml" )] public class MyBaseClass { public string baseField = "base" ; } [XmlRoot("MyDerivedXml" )] public class MyDerviedClass : MyBaseClass { public string derivedField = "derived" ; } I make a new instance of my derived class MyDerviedClass obj = new MyDerivedClass(); And then I have the following serialization method(s) /// <summary> /// Saves an object to a file /// </summary> /// <param name="obj"> Object to save</param> /// <param name="fileName"> Path to output to</param> public void Serialize(object obj, string fileName) { Type type = obj.GetType(); XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(type); Serialize(obj, fileName, type); } /// <summary> /// Saves an object to a file casting it as a specific type /// </summary> /// <param name="obj"> Object to save</param> /// <param name="fileName"
